Common Questions and Answers about Advair side effects sore throat

advair

Avatar f tn Since March, I have been getting sick with cold/flu symptoms (fever, aches, congestion, cough, stuffy nose, sore throat, nausea) almost every month. I had a chest x-ray, and it showed nothing. I took antibiotics,, but they did not help. I am seeing an allergist in a few weeks. I started taking Zyrtec a few weeks ago. I take multivitamins daily, and flax oil supplements. I have tried green tea, grape seed extract, zinc and echinacea. I do mild exercise regularly and eat fairly well.
Avatar n tn Having been on Advair for one year, I now have "frogs" in throat which causes me - a singer - to lose my voice when singing low notes. The Advair was discontinued and I am now on Symbicort which, I am afraid, is causing the same problem. Is there a simple "home remedy" for this problem? Thank you.
Avatar n tn These symptoms are most often seen with the ingestion of oral steroids but can occur with inhaled steroids such as the Fluticasone, a component of Advair These side effects are much less likely to occur with the use of an inhaled steroid but there is a wide range of individual patient sensitivity to these drugs and, thus, it is appropriate to suspect the Advair.
Avatar f tn Yes..Advair is horrible for you. It brings your immune system way down. If you can go without it, I suggest you do so. I have meneire's diseases and I believe it was caused by the advair. My sister is on the Advair and has a constant sore throat but she can't breath very well without it. She could breath better before she was on advair. At first, you feel great on Advair. After a few months, for a lot of people, your health is worse.
Avatar f tn I was taking that dosage. As time went by I developed very serious adrenal fatigue, sometimes so bad that I couldn't walk. Cortisol levels were very high. I was treated for it with only moderate success. But there was a more serious side effect that I was not aware of. For the last two years my lung health was declining seriously and I honestly did not think I would make it through the coming winter. I assumed that the COPD was progressing at an alarming rate.
Avatar n tn Hello, Fatigue and dry mouth and dyspepsia are frequent side effects of Vesicare but it is unlikely to cause any sore throat. Your sore throat can be due to some viral infection. Drink plenty of fluids throughout the day and use over-the-counter throat lozenges. Salt water gargle is also a good way to relieve a sore throat. In addition, you can take anti inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen and paracetamol (acetaminophen) after consulting your general physician.
Avatar n tn Hi there, I stopped advair a few months ago. I was on it previously for 7 years. Since then I've had a sore/irritated throat and have seen the doctor who has done two cultures with nothing abnormal growing. They don't see anything either. It's like every little thing irritates my throat and it happened as soon as I stopped the advair. Any ideas what this could be ?
Avatar f tn I have taken prednisone many other times, with no adverse side effects. I went to the doctor yesterday with the following symptomps; even though I knew that I was getting enough air, I felt that I could not get a good breath and my throat felt very tight and jaw just clenched open while I was gasping for breath. I also felt very anxious. I never experienced this before. Boy it was scary.
975514 tn?1324997938 The effects of steroids on individuals varies, not to mention the reason they are being prescribed them. Way more variable than you are acknowledging. Unless you are a doctor, please do not tell people not to take this. People could wind up in the hospital, even die from quitting steroids cold turkey. - I am a registered respiratory therapist who has intubated and terminally extubated people who took this kind of advice.
Avatar n tn They are very very scary. Could this be a side effect of Advair. Also, my son is not consistant in taking the medication. Are there side-effects from this med when you don't take it everyday.....twice a day?
Avatar n tn When using inhaled corticosteroids, some of the drug may deposit in your mouth and throat and cause laryngitis. This can cause coughing, hoarseness, dry mouth and sore throat. Gargling and rinsing the mouth after each puff on your corticosteroid inhaler, may help to prevent mouth and throat irritation. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar n tn The inhalers you listed do have sore throat and hoarseness as common side effects. Be sure to rinse your mouth and gargle each time after using the inhalers with a NON-alcohol base mouthwash (using an alcohol based mouthwash can actually make it worse). Next, I think it is time for you to ask for antibiotics on your next visit as you may have a secondary infection. The fatigue factor is usually a virus which you may still be fighting as the body is still weak.
Avatar f tn I would talk to your doctor about the side effects - advair has some nasty side effects that can be serious depending on age, health, other medications etc. There can be cardiac related things going on related to the medication or simple heartburn from it but it's better safe than sorry.
5037123 tn?1362663006 One idea is to google - possible side effects of Advair. Possible side effects of Symbicort. See if one of the side effects of either Advair or Symbicort is pain between the shoulder blades. Based on what you find out, I would have a conversation with your doctor. Only a suggestion. I'm sure there are other asthma medications besides Advair and Symbicort which may be a better match for you. Good luck.
Avatar n tn Am asma patient, and I notice that taking Advair cause me fatgue. I also notice the retention of urine just as describe on the comment of another user of Advair. At this time I will not use the said medication. Thanks for the warming of other statements, no longer will I use it. Thanks mucho.
Avatar f tn I was having the same side effects, switched to dulera and have very few side effects, only stomach acid which is treatable. Glad you're feeling better.
Avatar n tn are there any drugs to help asthma that dont have these crazy side effects. i mean other than albuteral. it seems like advair is making alot of peoples asthma worse and singulair has a whole list of crazy side effects like people acting aggresive, suicide, cant sleep, nightmares, depression. someone please tell me that there are some drugs to help asthma without all these side affects.
Avatar n tn you dont really get a sore throat . your throat just itches 4 sum reason. so that maybe y your friend clears his throat.
1425157 tn?1311651679 i could call the doc and ask him/her if there is anything out there on the market that they can prescribe to you to keep your bronchials open w. no side effects of the adrenaline rushes....you have to weigh out the benefits and what is more acute and has to be dealt with and not getting enough air to me take priority over an occasional fast heart however you want to make sure that the doc has okayed you to take an aspirin if you are going thru this to ward off the threat of clotting....
Avatar f tn Guess what - they work better than Advair, are cheaper (even though not covered by insurance) and have no side effects. I also take Zyrtec (an over-the-counter antihistamine) or Benadryl. Advair has a good PR program, with side effects given short shrift.
Avatar m tn The day after I was in pain and had a bad sore throat, still dry coughing. Is this a side effect of the Zantac? Or is this a sign my throat is healing from never having taken this kind of medicine before?
757137 tn?1347196453 Wow! I didnt know that! Im supposed to be taking it but dont cause I cannot afford it!
Avatar m tn I have been on Advair for one week. It has completely taken my taste and smell ability away. I am not going to take it any more, but will my taste and smell senses return with time?

Avatar f tn The long haul is certainly a mental challenge along with the physical effects, especially early in trt. Hope the sore throat improves.
Avatar f tn Anyone get migraine/headaches along with dizziness early in pregnancy?? I usually get migraines around my period but never the dizziness. I've also had a sore throat the past couple days as long with it. This has been going on for 2 days now for me. Any ideas ladies??
Avatar f tn T GO AWAY, I TRED COUGH SYRUPS, GARGLED WITH WARM SALT WATER, SUCKED ON HALLS AND HARD CANDY, STILL NO HELP, ALWAYS HAD TO CLEAR MY THROAT, I MEAN LIKE EVERY 3 MINUTES, LIKE SOMETHING WAS STUCK IN THE BACK OF MY THROAT, I DID THIS TO THE POINT MY THROAT FELT RAW AND SORE, MY VOICE WAS ALMOST GONE AND I KNOW I WAS DAMAGING MY VOCAL CORDS CLEARING MY THROAT SO MUCH, BUT COULDN'T STOP!!! DR.
Avatar n tn I have looked up the side effects of both Singulair and Advair. It seems that both can cause skin issues. I just know that he's been using the Advair all along with no problems but once he started the Singulair the itching returned. Now I will have to say that the past two days have been better. Maybe his body needed to adjust? Dunno.
Avatar n tn This was one (of many) side effects I suffered with Advair. I was producing high levels of cortisol which led increasingly to disabling panic attacks. The short-term solution was small doses of Xanax. I also was put on Travacor which inhibits the excitory neurotransmitters. Ultimately I had to get off Advair because of yet more serious side effects. It is unfortunate that my pulmonary specialist (an HMO hack) neither recognized nor solved any of these problems.
